| 1. We filter new
information through our preconceptions. --Fish out of water
story
2. Depth is better than breadth.--Father
Gino Sarducci's "Five Minute University"

4. Thinking about how you learn best helps
you learn better.--Specific strategies to try (focusing on 3 points in each class, making a connection between material and something in your life) 5. Students listen differently to teachers. --"Listening
energy" is limited
--Some are "people-oriented listeners" (non-judgmental and caring), while others are "action-oriented listeners" (want speakers to be concise and get to key information quickly) |
